A Rewarding Career That's in Demand

As an ABA therapist, you’ll work side by side with individuals of all ages, across all settings, who have been diagnosed with disorders, such as autism, that affect their behavior. Every day you’ll have the chance to help them identify and manage their reactions to their environments, helping to increase their quality of life.

Plus, demand for trained behavior analysts has never been higher. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 19% increase in the field between 2023 and 2033, much higher than the average in other industries.
